It’s a dumb signing. Has nothing to do with value. SA does not need more terribly bad defensive vets. Beli at that price makes sense for a lot of teams. Not SA.
Walker, then Murray, then Gay, then NBA 3 point shooting champ Bellinelli.....plus the Leonard replacement....
Pretty good wing plethora guys

The Spurs desperately need shooting and if Beli replaces Forbes (who sucked on D as well) then its a massive upgrade.
It feels like yet another off-season where the team went in expecting Green to be off the roster and then refused to adjust when that didn't end up happening.
Spent a chunk of the MLE on a player who could have been had for the bi-annual exception? Pretty outrageous but very predictable.
If the Spurs want t get rid of Green they can do so pretty ing easily. I really doubt that's the reasoning.
Spurs need their Euros. RC doesn't scout anyone outside of the euro market.
Not really. What would adding some more shooting an awful defense do to solve any problems? SA is not contending and should be either signing 1 year deals or letting young guys grow.
Replace Forbes with Beli moves what needle for what purpose while hurting cap space next year.
I don't think it will be that easy. They definitely anticipated trading him last year and failed. This year, they likely expected him to opt out. Sure, they can still trade him, but it would probably have to be for something larger than they were anticipating, they will have to find a way to add him to the Leonard deal.
Spurs were solid defensively last season despite not having the best defensive player in the league.
They were terrible at shooting.
Spurs sign a proven shooter at a reasonable contract.
Who are they getting at that price that is a solid 2 way player?
The Spurs are obviously going to try to be compe ive. I'm under no illusion that this team is going to be a true contender without Kawhi, but they're obviously not going to mail it in either. Anyone wanting a full youth movement or rebuild before Pop hangs it up - and honestly even after then - is just fooling themselves into thinking that is a possibility.
Luckily the Spurs know Kawhi is an elite talent and intend on keeping him, so they don’t have a video game mindset like you do when it comes to things like this. They don’t view the NBA like the NFL. The bull that you continue to spew out is making you lose more credibility as the days go by. Just go focus on your imploding ravens.You're gross.
Anyway, getting two big TEs, a solid role-player replacement, a starting-caliber PF, the rights to a really good prospect and an unprotected pick in the most compelling draft in decades is far from terrible. Dunno what you'd prefer.
What if the deal has a TO for the second year?
Exactly. The problem in the playoffs wasn't guard defense. It was the fact that we couldn't hit a ing 3.
They could have just kept Forbes for a fraction of the cost.
Beli really doesn’t make SA more compe ive and eats into cap space next year. If we find out Year 2 is a team option? Cool. If not? Dumb. Not catastrophic but just stupid.
I think you're right that they'll likely tie him to a Leonard deal but I also don't think they have to. We'll see how it works out. I have loved Danny, but I do think its a good time to move on from him.
Oh, so you're saying we should WANT Kawhi and the Spurs to work on their differences.Luckily the Spurs know Kawhi is an elite talent and intend on keeping him, so they don’t have a video game mindset like you do when it comes to things like this. They don’t view the NBA like the NFL. The bull that you continue to spew out is making you lose more credibility as the days go by. Just go focus on your imploding ravens.
Thanks for the report.
I disagree with your first point. I don't think it makes them true contenders, but it definitely improves the team and helps them get past the first round of the playoffs. That's important to a team who reportedly lost money the past couple of years.
True except for the fact that Forbes ing sucks
I'd've been fine with Green staying before the Beli signing. Walker was my dude during the draft, but he could still use a year of seasoning. But I hate the idea of Danny and Beli being the top SFs on the roster. They can't get rid of Marco yet, so it has to be Green.
RC trying to get on my good side
Ferrari is a Warriors killer and the clutchest SOB in the league. This also means Ginose is gone!
Depending on what they get back for the snake, Danny could end up as the starting SF and Walker could get a ton of minutes at the 2, especially if Patty is gone too.
Who is going to be the Spurs starting pg next season? All of this moot if they can't bring in someone who can actually make plays for others. And please don't say Murray.
